MCQ Psychiatry Answer 8

The Correct Answer is A

Breath-holding, common during the first 2 years of life, is usually an attempt to control parental behavior and is best managed when parents ignore the behavior by leaving the room, thus reinforcing that this behavior will not be rewarded.Attempts at aversive conditioning or reasoning with the child are usually not as effective.In most cases, professional help is unnecessary.
